IMPROVED IRONING--BOARII The Schedule referred to in these LettersPatent and making part o! the lame.

To all whom it may conce/rn Be it known that we., 'OALEB H. BENNETT andWIL- LIAM A. DAGGETT, of South Vineland, in the county of Cumberland,and in the State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Ironing-Board.; and do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being hadvtothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature vof our invention consists in the con-` struct-ion andgeneral arrangement of an ironing-'board, as will be hereinafter fullyset forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which 'our invent-ionappertains, to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describeits construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, inwhich- Fignre 1v is a side view, and

Figure 2, a bottom view.

A represents the ironing-board, made of any mate: rial, and of any` sizeor shape desired.

Ou the under side of the board A is hinged a brace or support, B, ofsuitable lengt-h, which brace can be folded up under the board, and heldby means of a button, b, the end of said button entering into a grooveor recess, a, in the side of the brace.

The inner end of the board A is provided with hinges, d dwhich areattached, in a manuel' hereinafter to be set forth, t-o a board, C,which may be secured to the wall by screws o1," othersuitable means.

The board A can therefore be raised up against the wall when not in us,vand held there by a strap or loop` attached to a. small screw-head, e,on the underside of the board.

vThat part of the hinge d which is attached to the vboard O consists ofa flat plate, with a notch in one f the notches on the hinges and thushold them between the board G and strip D., By this means the board Acan be easily removed, by moving it a little to one side and lifting thehinges out of its recesses. Having thus folly described oni' invention,What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

VThe combination of the hinged and movable board A, hinged brace B, withnotch a, button b, board 0, strip D, notched hinges d d, and pills i i,all substantially as set forth. y
